I carefully blasted them with garnet sand. I use that over aluminum oxide. Cheaper. I am a certified Cerakote applicator so I coated them myself. I hear what you are saying over chrome if it is not prepped properly.

They are Gibson TBird pickups with metal covers I got from Wolfkeller. I ended up ceramic coating the covers black. I hope it doesn't effect the pick up output though.
I ordered two pick guards from Larry for my TBirds. They turned out awesome. Here they are installed/partially installed. Now I can finish up the Epi and put the new pickups in. Thanks again Larry!

Congrats! It's nice to hear that they took care of you. You followed their warranty policy down to a tee and did not get snippy with the correspondence and they took care of it. Just lucky the finish did this before the warranty was up. I bought a Ruby Red 4003 in 2013 and it is still flawless...
I can't believe there is only a couple of people on TB that own one of these. I just bought a Black 5 string that will be delivered by the end of next week. I can't wait to play it.
